Former President Donald Trump is leading President Joe Biden by a whopping 10 points in Michigan, a state Biden won in 2020, according to a Monday poll.

Trump leads Biden by 10 points among registered voters in Michigan and by 5 points in Georgia, according to a CNN/SSRS poll. Majorities of registered voters in both the swing states hold negative views of Biden’s job performance, policies and mental acuity ahead of a potential 2024 rematch with Trump.

The former president won both states in 2016 against Hillary Clinton, but lost Michigan and Georgia to Biden in 2020 by 2.8 and 0.3 points, respectively. (RELATED: Just How Good Are The Polls For Donald Trump?)

Trump received a significant amount of support from voters who said they didn’t cast a ballot in 2020, with the former president leading Biden by 26 points among that electorate in Georgia and 40 points in Michigan, according to the survey. Those who said they voted in 2020 favor Trump over Biden for 2024, with the former president losing more support from his backers last cycle.

Only 35% of voters in Michigan approve of Biden’s job performance, with 39% saying the same in Georgia, according to the poll. Majorities in both states said Biden doesn’t have the policies they’re looking for in a president, and 69% of voters in Michigan and 66% in Georgia held negative views of the president’s sharpness and stamina.

The poll comes after numerous national and swing-state polls have found Trump leading Biden in a hypothetical 2024 rematch. Trump currently leads Biden by 2.2 points in the RealClearPolitics average.

Trump also fared better against Biden among voters under the age of 45, as he led the president 50% to 40% in Georgia and 49% to 38% in Michigan, according to the survey.

The former president held his lead over Biden when independents Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Cornel West were on the ballot, where the two brought in a combined 26% support in Michigan and 21% in Georgia, according to the poll. Trump broadened his lead over Biden by 3 points in Georgia with the independents in the mix, but dropped by 2 points in Michigan.

Trump also holds a massive lead in both states’ GOP primaries, garnering 58% support in Michigan and 55% in Georgia, the poll found. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is far behind Trump in Michigan with 15%, followed by former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley at 13%, and the two are tied for second in Georgia at 17%.

The CNN/SSRS survey polled 1,197 registered voters in Michigan and 1,068 registered voters in Georgia from Nov. 30 to Dec. 7, with margins of error of plus or minus 3.4% and 3.3%, respectively.

Neither Trump nor Biden’s campaigns immediately responded to the Daily Caller News Foundation’s requests for comment.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
